This is a sort of side step from the discussion, but at CES I saw the new Samsung watch/phone. It was pretty cool and functional, but obviously the whole form had changed. Most notable was the lack of a number pad because of the use of speech recognition from Conversa. The user could put the phone to the ear, but clearly the best solution was to run an ear bug up the sleeve. It seems to me that if these speech enabled phones take off, and you don't want web or video functions, then the whole shape of phones will change. Maybe one will double as a pen and another a watch and a third a pair or eye glasses. But, my point is that none of these shapes will take a traditional SIM. Is there a chance that we'll see new size variations perhaps like a Smart Media card for a digital camera? Do you think these Dick Tracy type phones will become a factor? Also, I saw the CEO of Kopin on CNBC this morning(Eric alerted me to this technology several months ago). They are up nicely from a good interview. Wants to see power control chips in every phone and a viewer on the outside. Good plan if it works. Regards, Mark
